The same could be said about staying in the course in Iraq, though. The only difference leaving now compared to later would provide is a few less dead or wounded Soldiers.

I'm not anti-War... but I am pro-Peace, and enough is enough.

If the Iraqi government can't establish itself and become dependent on it's own people to keep the peace there, then who can? Will they ever be able to? Will the US have to remain there for a decade? For how much more longer? Saddam Hussein is captured and dealt with, and the insurgency is pretty much as hemmed in as it's going to be. Democracy is in place. It's time for them to step it up.

Either that, or the US needs to find a new strategy - and quick... because simply adding more soldiers isn't going to work, either.
